PAGE SIX MARS HILL COLLEGE HILLTOP FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1974 FRIDAY, THE GOOD, 'THE BAD, AND THE AWFUL By Bob Kramer Hope everyone has seen lots of films over the break; if not there is always the Mars Theater and the Moore Madhouse. Interesting trivia— Geroge C. Scott's newest film is "The Savage is Loose." It was rated R by the Motion Picture Rating Association. Scott, who wanted a PG rat ing is upset and so is arranging to give a money back guaran tee to any parent who feels the R rating is justified. Now I feel compel led to vent my wrath about the situation at Sunday night mov ies in Moore which deteriorated to an all time low for Oliver (a G film es pecially for child ren) . General rowdi ness (smoking, drink ing, hooting and hol laring) which are present most Sunday evenings changed to obscenity. I was not in attendance but un fortunately my wife and children were. I have to think that there were other male members of the col lege community pres ent who were aware of where the language and remarks were ori ginating, yet ■they were allowed to go on for the duration of the movie unopposed except for some yell ing to stop. Consi der how fabulous .films are in Moore with "periodic Sound and Microscopic Screen" and consider how it happened that the Sunday night mov ies were moved there. You might see that neutral actions do not always have neu tral resluts. Now feeling much better, the up-coming films: The Good: Executive Action-(PG) Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan as the conspirators in a version of the JFK assassination made even more believable. in the present Post- Watergat climate. I saw this film in Wash ington, D. C.,with a standing room only audience, on the 10th anniversary of the assassination. You could feel the elec tricity in the air. Conrac-(PG) - Jon Voight as a teacher in a small black shcool on an island off the South Caro lina boast. Wonder ful film. Language is a little ripe for small children but mine loved it and only picked up a couple of words. I recommend you take yours. The Bad: Blazing Saddles-(R)- Clevon Little as a Black sheriff. An attempt to lampoon with comedy all of the clinches of wes terns. Many people in Asheville called this movie obscene so you better go early to get a good seat. Bang the Prim Slowly- (PG)-Baseball story about a catcher who learns he is dying and a buddy who helps him last the season. New York stage cast. The Awful: SPYS-(PG)-Clever but futile attempt to ca pitalize on MASH. A few good lines but on the whole disappoint ing. Friends-(R)-Just a simple little story about two 15 year old kids who run away, set up housekeeping, decide to have a baby, deliver it themselves with a "How to" book, and on the pointed urgings of Paul's father separate for ever and ever. Don't take the kids and you other kids better stay home too because there are plenty of things to gigle at. CURRY'S TOE - ROBINSON'S ARM EDGE BULLDOGS 26--23 by Eric Garner Last week's game at Gardner-Webb was pro bably the most cru cial game at this point in the season. Fore the third time this season, the Lions were faced with a situation where they needed to win in order to have a break even record. Each time before the Lions have come through and each time it has been by a three point vic tory. This was no exception. The Lions wrapped Georgetown 39-36, Guilford 27-24, and last week at Gardner-Webb's home field, a Lion victory 26-23. Four weeks ago, Stan Curry set a new school record with a 51 yard field goal to edg^ out Guilford. This week he did one even better. With one second left in the first half, Curry boomed a 52 yarder which at that time drew the Lions within one touchdown of the Bulldogs, 16-9. That was not all for Curry. With 2:26 left in the game, Stan kicked a 23 yard field goal ending an, eleven play, 87 yard drive which, gave the Lions the final mar gin of victory, 26- 23. It appeared tough for Lion runningbacks early in the game as they lost three fum bles in the first half, two of which ended in Bulldog scores. "I almost thought we had given the game away," said Coach Claude Gibson. A third quarter inter ception of a Danny Robinson pass on the MH 10, also resulted in a Bulldog TD. The first fumble resulted in a Bulldog field goal but the Lions quickly retali ated as Robinson hit tight and Scott Ferguson on a 63 yard TD pass. The kick was blocked and the Lions were out front 6-3. The Bulldogs were not to be denied a victory on their home field as they struck back on a pass from Doc Davis, 46 yards to Po Rogers. The xick was also blocked and the Bulldogs were on top again, 9-6. The Lions took the next kick-off on their own 27 but on the first play, full back Charlie Hammersley fumbled and the Bulldogs re covered. From the 27, the Bulldogs marche^ eight plays and scor ed on a 1 yard run by Eddie Tyndall. The kick was good and the Lions were further behind, 16-6. The second quarter seemed to be a stale mate and basically a defensive battle by the Lions. On the first series of downs, GW marched to the Lion 30 where the de fense dug in and held through four downs and the offense took over the ball. David Boschelli was the spark plug of the defense as he inter cepted two Bulldog passes. Both inter ceptions were at cru cial times for the Lions. The first came on the Lion 4 yard line as the Bull dogs were driving for a score at the end of the first quarter. The other was even were critical as Bo grabbed a Doc Davis pass on the Lion 1 yard line. The defense held on once more as they dug in on the Lion 1 yard line late in the sec ond quarter. With fourth down and 1 to pass but was met by Greg Hasselbring and Jerry Chester for a 7 yard loss to the 8 and the Lions took over with 0:18 left on the clock. As if that wasn't exciting enough a first half conclusion QB Danny Robinson came onto the field ready for a score. On first down he hit Soctt Ferguson for 45 yards to the GW 37 yard line. That was Ferguson's second re ception for a total of 118 yards, the most yardage he has gained in one game so far this year. On the next play, Robinson handed off to workhorse Charlie Hammersley who car ried 25 times in the game for a total of 103 yards. Hammersley’ gained two yards and 8 - 12:30 NOV. 9tK 25* ADMISSION AFTER THE ST. LEO GAME RECORD HOP with one second left, Curry kicked the 52 yard field goal for the.halftime score of 16-9 in favor of GW. Freshman William Washington took the kick-off which opened the second half, and ran it to the Lion 48 where Robinson took quick charge and af ter a few short run ning plays, he hit split end Ronnie Capps on the end of a 32 yard pass for the tieing score, 16-16. A few minutes later, Robinson again took charge of the offense on the Lion 21. The first play went on a 5 yard run by Jerome Durham but the next play was a crusher for the Lions as a Robsinson pass was tipped and then pick ed off by a GW defen der who returned it to the Lion 10. The defense dug in but on fourth down, Goerge Gilliam ran 2 yards for the TD giving to the Bulldogs the lead again, 23-16. Robinson again came onto the field and took charge; driving the Lions 14 plays in seven minutes for the which Robinson ran over himself from the 1 yard line. Curry's extra point kick tied the score 23-23. The Lion defense felt the pressure as the Bulldogs drove seeking desperately for the winning score. The Bulldogs drove to the Lions 13 yard line hwere for the third time that night the Lion defenders dug in and held the Bulldogs for four downs. The offense took over and Robinson marched the Lions 87 yards for Curry's game winning 23 yard field goal with 2:26 left on the clock. Gardner-Webb was determined for the win and they procee ded to march up the field as time ran down in the game. Af" ter six successful plays, David Boschelli forced 4 fumble which Barry Jacks recovered and- the game was history as poised Robinson merely sat on the ball for two plays running out the re maining 32 seconds.
